Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

In the circuit shown in figure C = 6 µF. The charge stored in capacitor of capacity C is

Options:

zero

90 µC

40 µC

60 µC

Correct Answer:

40 µC

Explanation:

Both the capacitors are in series. Therefore charge stored on them will be same.

Net capacity = $\frac{(C)(2 C)}{C+2 C}=\frac{2}{3} C=\frac{2}{3} \times 6 \mu F$ = 4 µF

Potential difference = 10V

∴ q = CV = 40 µC
